Multi-handle paper bag

ABSTRACT

A bag that has a handle and a handle grip section that are connected externally on the main body to be used for carrying. The bag has a support handle connected from the inner surface of the bag on the main body which is already connected to a handle so as to increase the carrying load capacity and a handle grip section formed on the support handle so as to connect the support handle to the main body.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a double-handle bag used for carryingmaterials purchased by consumers especially from supermarkets.

2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98

Today, single-handle paper bags are used for carrying purchasedmaterials. Paper pouches and bags contain only one handle and when thebag is loaded exceeding a certain weight, this is the point where itbreaks most.

It has been determined that 9 of the 10 first breaking points are atthis handle point according to the first data in the load tests wheresamples from the bags received from the 4 most known local and nationalmarkets in the USA are exposed. The other bag that remained durable wasbroken simultaneously at both the handle and the body.

In the existing applications, there are usually handles which areconnected to the internal surface or external surface of the bag. Theload distributed on the handles allows the handles to separate from thebag body over time. It is required to make a new bag design so as todistribute the load on the bag in the best manner.

Paper bag handles are generally connected to the bag body through anarrow connection area. Ruptures or tears generally occur in theseconnection areas. Therefore, paper bags have short service life.

As a result of the research made on the subject, document numberedTR2013/15570, with the title of handled bag is encountered. The subjectof application is a plastic container bag with a handle consisting of astrip attached to one side of the bag. Said bag is made of at least onefilm or support material with a label which has at least two holes andlocated close to said holes and is applied to the surface of the filmfacing the interior section of the bag and said handle is attached tosaid label from the outside of the bag in at least two areas,corresponding to the two holes of the film or support material. In saidpaper bag, there is a structure with double handles or a support handle.

As a result of the research made on the subject, document numberedTR2019/00899, with a title of a paper reservoir, particularly paper bagis encountered. This application relates to a paper reservoir,particularly a paper bag that has a mouth, at least two adhesiveelements that can be individually activated to close the mouth, and atleast one tearing element. In said paper bag, no structure with doublehandles or a support handle was encountered.

As a result, due to the abovementioned disadvantages and theinsufficiency of the current solutions regarding the subject matter, adevelopment is required to be made in the relevant technical field.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The invention aims to solve the abovementioned disadvantages by beinginspired from the current conditions.

The main aim of the invention is to convert the handle part into adouble-handle condition compared to the currently used handled paperbags.

Another aim of the invention is to make the handle part and itssurroundings that are most likely to rupture under heavy load, by meansof the double handle, and to increase its strength.

Another aim of the invention is to carry more load than flat handledbags by means of double handles.

Another aim of the invention is to reduce the raw materials required fora stronger bag. Therefore, it facilitates to store and carry thepouches/bags at the places of use, while providing environmentalbenefits with less material consumption.

Another aim of the invention is to provide usage of fewer bags per user.

Another aim of the invention is to create an additional connection pointto the bag on the unused side of the bag and to support the attachmentpoint of the handle to the bag. Therefore, the load which is receivedfrom a single point on the bag handle is distributed over a wider areaon the bag and it is provided that the bag handle can be resistant tohigher loads and can be used for a long time.

Another aim of the invention is to prevent the rupture of bags in manyworkplaces especially in shops with the use of bags and to reduce theapplication of “double bagging”. Therefore, both environmental andeconomic gain is created.

The structural and characteristic features of the present invention willbe understood clearly by the following drawings and the detaileddescription made with reference to these drawings and therefore theevaluation shall be made by taking these figures and the detaileddescription into consideration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, the preferred embodiments of the inventivemulti handle bag are described by means of examples only for clarifyingthe subject matter.

It relates to a bag (10) with handle (12) and handle grip section (14)which are connected externally on the main body (11) so as to be usedfor carrying as shown in FIG. 1. As a distinctive property, the bag (10)comprises a second support handle (13) connected from the inner surfaceof the bag (10) on the main body (11) which is already connected to ahandle (12) so as to increase the carrying load capacity and a handlegrip section (14) formed on the support handle (13) so as to connect thesupport handle (13) to the main body (11).

The bag body (11) is the member that forms the main structure of the bag(10), preferably made of paper. The handle (12) is the part that ismounted externally to the bag body (11) and causes the most breakage.The support handle (13) is the part that is mounted internally to thebag body (11) and causes the most breakage. The handle grip section (14)is the member that connects the support handle (13) and the handle (12)to the bag body (11).

There is a support part (15) positioned on the main body (11) thatdistributes the load transferred to the main body (11) of the bag (10)over the support handle (13) or handle (12) so as to prevent the supporthandle (13) or handle (12) from breaking from the main body (11). Thesupport part (15) is the support element attached to the bag main body(11) internally or externally. Furthermore, it widens the attachmentarea of the attached handle grip (14) on the main body (11).

The load distributed on the handles (12) is divided into two by means ofthe support handle (13). Additional support handles (13) to the handles(12) ensure a more effective load distribution in the bag and allow itto be resistant to more load.

At least one further pair of support handles (13) are added to thehandle in some bags (10). In general, these support handles (13) areattached to the bags (10) externally; sometimes they are attached to thebag (10) internally. In the present invention, a pair of support handles(13) made of plain paper is added to the section where no handle (12) isattached. While this attachment is made, the attachment surface area canalso be expanded by bonding with an additional support part (15) to thearea of attachment to the interior section of the bag (10). Paper canpreferably be used as the support member (15). Therefore, the tearingarea at the points where the handles (12, 13) of the bag (10) areattached is strengthened by providing a better distribution of theweight.
